BSA Lightning description

This is a very nice running old Brit bike. It starts easy and idles great. Shifts real smooth. It needs nothing, ride it home.

All the lights and horn work good. The speedometer reads 23,740, but I doubt the accuracy of any old bike like this. It has been up-dated with electronic ignition and charging system. It's no garage queen, but a presentable every day driver.  It runs like it probably has had a recent rebuild. Very quiet engine with a nice throaty exhaust sound and no oil leaks so far.

I did put new fork seals,oil, and boots on it. Other than that I've just rode it around a little bit. It has a real nice ride, suspension feels good. I would ride this anywhere and feel confident about reliability.

 Any shipping will of coarse be the complete responsibility of the buyer. I will work with the shipper as much as possible to get the bike ready for him or her. There is a relatively low reserve on this so bid to win. This is a steal of a deal. If you have any questions, I will try to answer them and if you would like different pictures, please let me know.


On Sep-24-13 at 13:16:46 PDT, seller added the following information:

I'm sorry but the odometer miles jumped to  47,601 just from riding around thwe yard. Apparently there is something very wrong with the odometer, so the miles are unknown. Please disregard the miles listed above. EBay will not let me change it.

If any bidder wants to withdraw their bid, I will understand. Tha speedometer does seem to work fine.

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

The 2014 edition of the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show continued its now 23-year tradition as the premier outdoor streetbike event in America with producer photographer Jim Gianatsis moving the show this year to the beautiful green lawns of the Malibu Golf Course among the twisty canyon roads in the Santa Monica Mountains alongside the Pacific Ocean. Highlighting this year’s exciting activities was the emergence of another new and soon to be renown custom bike builder to the sport for which the Calendar Show is known for cultivating. Taking Best of Show in this year’s Calendar Bike Building Championship was Calin Senciac’s Imagine Vehicles International / ImagineVehicles.com motorsports fabrication shop with an incredible custom billet aluminum designed chassis built by Terry Ward and the shop crew, housing a legendary 1979 Honda CBX 1047cc air-cooled in-line 6-cylinder engine.

What’s Old Is New Again – Video

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

There’s something distinctly cool about old British motorcycles. From the wire wheels, the minimal bodywork, and the exposed engines which give off a thunderous bark, I’ve always loved looking at old Triumphs, BSAs and the like from the 60s.  I’ve never owned one though. The reason is simple: old British bikes are needy little maintenance machines notorious for the odd oil leak.
